Great Yarmouth Documents
This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Add information by clicking on "edit" above. Items should begin with term (if available) and year, together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term, and the designation should be in bold, as in this example: H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the image of the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ), as in this example: [http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/E1/KB27no171/bKB27no171dorses/IMG_3719.htm]. Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar (|) and end with a vertical bar minus (|-). Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets, as in this example: [[Dartmouth Docs H1275 A Tr]]. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. This will appear in the saved document as a red hyperlink, indicating that it has no content as yet. Clicking on this red hyperlink will open the new document in edit mode. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents. A document written in Notepad will copy into the site without any complicating code. Avoid more complicated coding.

[16] E1318 A: Ship was loaded at Little Yarmouth with goods worth 100 marks bound for London; defendants at Erith took some of the goods and sank the rest. William Lambyn of London merchant and Richard de Hodeston of London merchant v. Alan atte Forde of Faversham and Henry Aleynescosyn atte Ford. [17]. Verdict: William and Richard delivered herring to Alan to be carried to London at their peril. Alan put the herring in his ship, but the sailors were less wise. They went toward the Thames near Erith and there by negligence wrecked the ship. Some sailors in boats who were there then took six last of herrings, and those herrings afterwards went to the profit of William and Richard. The remainder (four and a half lasts) the ship's sailors took and sold for their own profit. Alan thereafter accepted what his sailors had done. The damages of William and Richard came to 70 marks. Plaintiffs recover. Enrollment indicates that the the wrong was not against the king's peace. [18] E1319 A: Bernard de Tessandria, Peter de Cabasaco, Arnald de Camas, Raymond de Puseles, & Adomar de Pois, merchants of La Rochelle v. Geoffrey de Somerton master of La Godeyer, Brounrobyn master of La James, Henry de Horseye master del Cristofre, Fairmanus Alberd, Seman atte Soude, William Wildegos, John Perbroun, John Billinge, Robert de la Barge, Robert Asheman, John de Fordele, Robert de Fordele, Aldexander Fastolf, Thomas Fastolf, John Fastolf, Simon de Marcham, Bartholomew de Thorpe, William de Goseford, and Richard Randolf. Count: Plaintiffs had loaded a ship called the St James of Bayeux with 200 tuns of white wine worth 1,200 p.s. at Tonnay-Charente, France, to be taken by sea to Callais. The Scots boarded the ship and killed some of the sailors. They managed to escape to Great Yarmouth. Somerton and the other defendants along with John Deneys and others whose names were contained in a separate record boarded the ship and took the wine to various places in the county at damages of 2,000 p.s. These defendants pleaded not guilty, but Hervey de Oxeneye, Roger le Cotiler, and Robert de Gymyngham came. Cotiler and Oxeneye pleaded that the ship had only had 80 tuns of white wine and had been captured by the Scots on the sea and taken to Aberdeen; the Scots had killed all but three men on the ship. John de Botetourt then admiral, in whose company were Cotiler and Oxeneye, attacked Aberdeen with the whole fleet and captured the ships there (including the St James of Bayeux) and took them to Great Yarmouth. Botetourt gave Cotiler and Oxeneye two tuns of wine for their wages. No verdict.
